The company was founded in 1989 with Kathleen Sellers inventions of Plant Pallet, and is a diverse (woman-owned) business. The Plant Pallet design was later incorporated into a heavy duty saucer called the Super Saucer and was awarded a Utility patent, creating a heavy duty saucer market. Plastec then expanded the Plant Protection line by designing the Saucer Stand, the Saucer Caddy, and the Saucer Table. Now Plastec offers a complete selection of affordable Plant Accessories which are functional, yet decorative and design-oriented made from various materials and styles.
